One of my best hunts ever! Morgan, Barber, V Nicks, and IH's, pile of rings!

Headed back to the spot I found the 10 Ih's and three Barber dimes this afternoon. To make a long story short started pulling Ih's and V nickels some cool relics. Silver thimble, cuff link, some busted Hutch tops with stoppers (for those who know bottles). Found my 4th Barber dime from this site. 1899. Now this area must held carnivals because I found 16 gold plated rings. All in a 20' square area. At that point I had already deiced the title of my todays finds would be "Found 16 rings today" lol! Anyway so it started getting late and I decided to make a swing around the outside perimeter of this site and BAMM! solid 88 on the DFX. Im thinking ok this is it,,, come on barber quarter! I dig a large plug down about 7" tip it out and go over the hole, nothing its in the plug. So I break the plug apart and see just enough of the reeded edge to see it bigger then a dime. Then I do a double take and start thinking its a half. Then it hits me that I have just found a Morgan!! YES:headbang:!!!! So enough talk here are the photos. 008.JPG 009.JPG 010.JPG 011.JPG 012.JPG The Barber dime. 002.JPG Lastly the Morgan pics. 003.JPG 004.JPG 005.JPG 006.JPG 007.JPG It is in fact a 1890 mint mark O. 013.JPG 014.JPG I am one happy camper. :laughing7:

Oh man, this post reminds me of my super dreamy circus site that I have detected to death. I also found a Morgan, three Barber halves, and piles of silver dimes, IH pennies etc at my spot. I am envious of you, there are probably many more good things to find there! My spot is basically done, the last 20 hrs I spent there produced nothing.

How much time have you put in at your spot? Awesome finds!

That is one heavy chunk of silver you found there, Yowsah! BTW, the in situ Morgan photograph was a gift you gave to all TNET viewers--Man it sure does my heart pumping! Thanks for taking the time to pull out your camera, and share the shot with all of us.

That's a great feeling. You got a great site. I found a Morgan last yr sticking half way out of the ground. I've only found three in 20 yrs of hard hunting.

I've only dug one Morgan in 22 years, and my wife has dug one since she started 8 years ago. GREAT stuff! Sounds like you've found a long lost picnic grove or similar site. Well done!
